Question
I have several food recipes for sauges I like to stuff. Recently saw John Folse's show "A Taste of Louisianna. They were making andouille sausage. I turned it on after they had mixed the batch and I did not get the recipe. I love to make gumbos and red beans and rice. The recipe I have is not as good as some I've had in LA. My daughter attends LSU. Can you point me to that recipe on the show or give me a few others to try.

Thanks

You will love this one, its stuffed eggplant with crawfish. Boil 4 eggplants in water, once they soften, dig out the inside and put in a frying pan, add 1 chopped onion, a small one, 1 small bell pepper, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of Tonys seasoning, 2 ribs of celery, chop all of the veggies finely, cook the inside of the eggplant along with all of the seasonings until they all soften, once you do this, add 1 lb of peeled crawfish tails to the mixture, cook on medium for 15 minutes, then add the mixture to the empty eggplant shells, on top of the mixture sprinkle each eggplant with parmesan cheese, bake in oven at 350 for 25 minutes, hope you like this!
